India announced on Friday that it has “strongly” asked Moscow to promptly repatriate Indian nationals allegedly coerced into serving in the Russian army under a job scam.
“Strong action has been initiated against agents and unscrupulous elements who recruited them on false pretexts and promises.”
The CBI Thursday busted a major human trafficking network conducting searches in several cities and collecting incriminating evidence.
A case of human trafficking has been registered against several agents.
“We once again appeal to Indian nationals to not be swayed by offers made by agents for support jobs with the Russian Army. This is fraught with danger and risk to life. We remain committed to the early release of our nationals serving as support staff with the Russian Army and their eventual return home.”
